Item description from seller

Eternal Devotion in Prayer: Handcolored Religious Adorer Print, Plate 77, 1862 This poignant handcolored lithograph, Eternal Devotion in Prayer, is Plate 77 from the 1862 second edition of Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome. Illustrated by G. Perugini, it portrays a Religious Sister of Perpetual Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, kneeling in deep reverence and prayer. The sister's attire is steeped in symbolism: a flowing black veil signifies humility and her separation from worldly concerns, while the striking red sash adorned with golden accents represents the sacrifice of Christ and her sacred role in unceasing veneration. Her posture exudes a serene yet profound dedication to her spiritual calling, making this an inspiring depiction of the Catholic tradition of perpetual adoration. This order, founded in 19th-century France, continues its sacred mission today in convents worldwide, maintaining an unbroken chain of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. The vibrant handcoloring and meticulous detail in this lithograph beautifully encapsulate the spiritual fervor and meditative devotion of these sisters, offering a rare glimpse into a timeless religious practice. Whether you're an art collector or a student of ecclesiastical history, this piece provides an extraordinary window into Catholic liturgical heritage and the artistry of 19th-century devotional prints. Introduction Text Translation: A powerful interest is attached to the name of Rome, an interest even greater in the name of Christ. Rome, through its genius, the vast intelligence of its warriors, orators, and legislators, prepared the cradle where Catholicism was born, grew, developed, and established itself. The history of Catholicism is the history of this great and glorious city among all others. Virgil said in a truly prophetic verse: "To rule peoples, Roman, remember." This prophecy received the most glorious, complete developments: all conspired for the glory of the eternal city?its history, its arts, monuments, and the religion from which everything starts and to which everything returns. Yet, no other city in the universe contains such a collection: from the monuments of Augustus' time to those of Sixtus V and Leo XII; from pagan temples to saints' tombs and martyrs, all illustrate daily the majesty of Catholicism in its splendor. It was natural to offer the public the tableau of the splendid costumes of the Pontiffs and great dignitaries, as well as those of the humble garments of religious congregations. This is what we retrace in this Album. Amid the religious costumes, we have also included military corps contributing to the harmony of ceremonies. These figures, drawn by the skilled artist G. Perugini, are accompanied by explanatory texts derived from the works of the learned Father Hélyot. Table of Costumes in English (selected for relevance): - The Pope in Grand Ceremony - Cardinal in Choir Attire - Bishop in Pontifical Costume - Franciscan - Capuchin Friar - Jesuit - Reformed Redemptorist - Sister of Redemption (Plate 76) - Religious Sister of Perpetual Adoration (Plate 77) - Benedictine (Plate 78) This exquisite print is not just a piece of art but a spiritual narrative, capturing the eternal flame of devotion that continues to burn bright across the centuries. A true treasure for any collection.…
